Cargo embedded tomcat: custom context.xml

Question

I use the load to automate the deployment of war on Tomcat. However, I have a problem: I cannot replace the default tomcat files with my custom, since my files are first copied and then overwritten by default. I spent several hours solving this problem, but nothing works. Here is my pom.xml

<artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId> <executions> <execution> <id>replace-tomcat-users-xml</id> <phase>process-test-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-resources</goal> </goals> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat}/conf/</outputDirectory> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/test/resources/</directory> <includes> <include>context.xml</include> </includes> </resource> </resources> </configuration> </execution> <execution> <id>replace-tomcat-users-xml-cargo</id> <phase>process-test-resources</phase> <goals> <goal>copy-resources</goal> </goals> <configuration> <outputDirectory>${basedir}/target/cargo/installs/tomcat-${version.tomcat}/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat}</outputDirectory> <resources> <resource> <directory>src/test/resources/</directory> <includes> <include>context.xml</include> </includes> </resource> </resources> </configuration> </execution> </executions> </plugin> 

and here the cargo is used:

 <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId> <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.4.11</version> <configuration> <skip>false</skip> <container> <containerId>tomcat7x</containerId> <log>${project.build.directory}/cargo.log</log> <artifactInstaller> <groupId>org.apache.tomcat</groupId> <artifactId>tomcat</artifactId> <version>${version.tomcat}</version> <type>zip</type> </artifactInstaller> <systemProperties> <tomcat.home.dir> ${basedir}/target/cargo/installs/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat}/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat} </tomcat.home.dir> <tomcat.server.home.dir> ${basedir}/target/cargo/installs/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat}/apache-tomcat-${version.tomcat} </tomcat.server.home.dir> </systemProperties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>mysql</groupId> <artifactId>mysql-connector-java</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </container> <configuration> <configfile> <file>${basedir}/target/cargo/installs/context.xml</file> <todir>conf/</todir> <tofile>context.xml</tofile> <configfile>true</configfile> <overwrite>true</overwrite> </configfile> <properties> <cargo.servlet.port>8080</cargo.servlet.port> <!-- --> <cargo.servlet.users>admin:admin:manager-script</cargo.servlet.users> <cargo.jvmargs> -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=y,suspend=n,address=8000 -Xnoagent -Djava.compiler=NONE </cargo.jvmargs></properties> </configuration>

One solution: Is it possible to provide the context.xml file of Tomcat6 through the Maven Cargo plugin?

My working configuration (with the DataSource jdbc pool) looks like this:

  <plugin> <groupId>org.codehaus.cargo</groupId> <artifactId>cargo-maven2-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.5.0</version> <configuration> <container> <containerId>tomcat8x</containerId> <systemProperties> <file.encoding>UTF-8</file.encoding> <spring.profiles.active>tomcat,datajpa</spring.profiles.active> </systemProperties> <dependencies> <dependency> <groupId>org.postgresql</groupId> <artifactId>postgresql</artifactId> </dependency> </dependencies> </container> <configuration> <configfiles> <configfile> <file>src/main/resources/tomcat/context.xml</file> <todir>conf/Catalina/localhost/</todir> <tofile>context.xml.default</tofile> </configfile> </configfiles> </configuration> <deployables> <deployable> <groupId>ru.javawebinar</groupId> <artifactId>topjava</artifactId> <type>war</type> <properties> <context>${project.build.finalName}</context> </properties> </deployable> </deployables> </configuration> </plugin>
